- Posted on 6/30/19 Whats left to be said about that magical person She works miracles with a smile and sense of humor! This club is on Stephens Green which is the best location in Dublin. Our room was large and spotless. Breakfast is cooked to order. No hotel feel rather your private club. Suggest taking Mary’s Newgrange Tour and one of the jail. - Hank Miller
- Posted on August 13, 2017 at 10:44am - "We have nothing but GOOD things to say about the Club and staff. Everything was great, including the location, restaurant and friendliness of every staff member we had the pleasure of encountering. We welcome the opportunity to return as guests!" - Colin Fite
- Posted on September 30, 2017 at 6:32pm - "Had drinks and dinner September 15, 2017. Highly recommended. Food, drinks and staff were first rate and the location is superb. We will stay there next time." - George Lennon
- Meant to do this earlier since my wife and I stayed here last Sept/Oct. Unfortunately, I got distracted after coming back to the U.S. with a family emergency and forgot to do it. Having now remembered, I wish to post my comments. The Hibernian Club is a wonderful place to stay in Dublin. It's right on St Stephen's Green within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, tour buses, and tourist attractions such as Trinity College. In addition, the rate for a stay also includes a full Irish breakfast and the VAT, so no hidden fees. The Hibernian Club is a funky mid 19th century building with the the wonderful charming quirkiness that you would expect of a building that old. What makes the Club so great, building aside, is its great staff. Very professional, friendly, and accommodating. Particular kudos goes to Bronagh Towler, the front of the house manager. She is a real "fixer." You have a problem, just go to Bronagh. Our luggage was misdirected by our airline and we were having difficulty retrieving it from the airport. Bronagh made a couple calls and quickly got our luggage dispatched to the Club. Otherwise we would've lost valuable sightseeing time having to go all the way out to the airport at the specific hours that baggage claim was open. Also, her recommendations for things to see, restaurants, and tours to take were all spot on. In short, highly recommend and we are looking forward to our next stay when we visit Dublin again.
- We spent five nights at the Hibernian Club, with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren. During that time, we were joined by family members from England. We arrived with numerous suitcases, bags, etc and the staff and members were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Our rooms were lovely and housekeeping was outstanding. Food and wine were superb, beautifully served in wonderful surroundings. It was a moving experience to stay in such a wonderful place so rich in history. At all times, the staff were excellent especially Branaugh. I was practically impresses as we set off for our long journey at 5.15 am, the grandchildren were offered breakfast and we were offered coffee. Amazing. Thank You
- After several emails and even stopping by the club, we thought our room reservation for three nights was in good order. As it turned out, it was not because of an apparent change in personnel and our reservation disappearing. Luckily the club staff was able to work things out -- marching us down the street one block to another historic club, which turned out to be even nicer at lesser cost, with an outstanding, effective and efficient staff, excellent, updated rooms, and a fine pub and dining room. Story with a happy ending!
- Have the opportunity to visit Dublin once or twice a year and visited the Club in 2012. The pub and restaurant were fine. Visited again in May 2014 and both facilities have been remodeled and are very nice. With reservations, Thursday -Saturday are best for evening dining. The Club location is ideal (just off Grafton Street across from St. Stevens Green) with delightful hospitality.
- I stayed at the Stephen's Green Hibernian Club for four nights in mid-May 2012. The location and rates are excellent for a visit to Dublin. The front Club rooms provide views of the Green and the art hung on the Green fence for sale. The room size of my single was very comfortable with a small ensuite bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower. The bathroom was small, but comparable to other places I've stayed in this neighborhood. In fact, the room size for a single was much better than I've encountered in guest houses in this area. The Club is a historic club, and while there may be some chipped paint on moldings, it is serviceable and even has an aura of past elegance that is attractive in Dublin. The staff was very helpful: when I came by at 0930, hoping to drop off my luggage, the front desk manager sent me up to the reading room to hook into the wifi, and ten minutes later she told me my room was ready, a wonderful surprise for an American arriving on an early morning flight. I ate breakfasts in the nicely furnished dining room with large windows and views of the Green, and had one pub meal and a beer in the Member's Bar. There was a fire in the fireplace, and one other member, a woman, ate at another table. I wish I had taken more meals in the Club. I didn't have dinner in the dining room, but the menu and atmosphere are quite attractive. This isn't the MMC in San Francisco, but it does offer a comfortable (and, in fact, historic) setting in Dublin. There was a tad noise from Saturday night celebrators waiting for cabs at the stand across the street, but probably the back garden rooms are quiet, and I found the view of the artists setting up their work on the Green fence in the morning to compensate for some slight noise drifting up that night. I'd definitely go back again. The Club offers a taste of Dublin most American tourists miss.
- The location was wonderful, but we were highly disappointed with our accommodations. The staff was friendly, the dining room suitable though lacking in service, but our room was the real problem. The upkeep, quality of bedding, lighting and wardrobe were less than acceptable. Banging on pipes outside our window before sunup was the clincher. After one night, we moved to The Hilton Hotel.
- I stayed at the Hibernian Club in Dublin, Ireland after seeing that it was a reciprocal club of the Marines Memorial Club. Ideally situated at St. Stephens Green in a pricey part of the City, the lower daily rate is attractive. However, the facilities left much to be desired in the way of deferred maintenance and a limited staff was noted. If you don't mind the flusher working only once an hour or so.... If the Marines Memorial Club was like the Hibernian, I would not want to be a member.

- Posted on 6/27/19 - My wife and I stayed here for five nights in June, 2019. We stayed in Room 4, facing the private Queen Street Gardens to which guests have access (just ask for the gate key at the reception desk). Our room was spacious and quite comfortable, and we found the Club overall to be very well-situated, within easy walking distance of Old Town and other desirable destinations in Edinburgh. An array of amenities are available to guests, staff very helpful and accommodating, and breakfast in the Abercromby Dining Room was both ample and delicious! Highly recommended! - Will Melton
- Posted November 1, 2017 at 7:41 pm - "We stayed for four nights in September 2017. Room 11 is a wonderfully large and sunny room, well furnished. The staff is welcoming and helpful. Location is quiet and convenient walking to sights and interesting galleries. We recommend and would stay again." - Malcolm P. Scott
- Visited the club for three nights September 19 through 22, 2016. We had a group of three couples and my reciprocal membership of the Marine Corp Memorial Club was a welcome for all three couples. The club is delightful. It is well located and we used the convenient "hop on hop off" bus service for two days which helped us get along to see the city. We dined only on one evening occasion and we all very much enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend this club.
- Absolutly heaven! Everone was helpful, kind,professional and gave us a very warm and gracious reception. Made tour and travel arrangments upon request. Recommend it to all and plan to return for the tatoo in Aug of '14. Ltook forward to seeing other US families there.

- I stayed at The Inn & Out for 5 days the second week of October 2023. The Club is so well located in such a peaceful setting's of St James's Square and yet within easy access surrounding neighbors and to other points of interest. The Staff were so helpful and friendly. The Dining was very good and very reasonable. My accommodations were very nice. The In & Out Club is an excellent value and will look forward to opportunity to stay there in the future.

- Stayed June 2025. Very nice club in a nice and safe neighborhood. Free parking on the street. ~20 minute walk to the center of Frankfurt. Guest rooms are on the top floor. Rooms are large, modern, and air conditioned. Bathrooms are shower are excellent. Ground floor has a Michelin star restaurant (Villa Merton). Staff was very friendly. Included breakfast is phenomenal.
- Great room in a quiet and safe location. The area is basically a diplomatic neighborhood. It is about a 20 minute walk to the middle of Frankfurt. The restaurant was one of the best I have ever been to. The service and food were all great. A Michelin rated restaurant. A great wine selection also. We stayed there in the fall so the swimming pool was closed but looked well maintained and a lot of fun in the summer for sure. Along with the clay tennis court. The breakfast was more than we could eat and served in a room separate from the formal dining restaurant. Great value and only 6 rooms in the whole place so kind of felt like we were the only ones there.
- We spent a great time at the Union International Club the night before we flew out of Frankfurt on our way back to the States. This club is outstanding, they only have I believe 6 to 9 rooms, they are first class. They also have a wonderful dinning room, bar, and outside patio that we enjoyed. The staff is very helpful and if you have the opportunity to stay I know you will have an enjoyable trip.
- This venue is exquisite. We have stayed in several reciprocal hotels in Europe. The Union International Club is by far the finest we have stayed in. The property is magnificent with a very large treed backyard, tennis courts, and swimming pool. Service is personal and attentive with a Haus-Meister(Frau) who prepares personalized breakfasts and lunches. Read about the history of this property online - it is historical. The property is located in a residential area, but within walking distance of downtown Frankfurt and several restaurants sad the Main River. If you drive, there is plenty of parking on the street. We will return. The only downside is that the rooms are on the 3rd floor, with no elevator. It is not inexpensive, but less expensive than New York!
